In May of 1953, my first testimony appeared in the Sentinel. Since then there have been many more proofs of God's loving care.

We have applied an understanding of God's law with cattle, in healing milk fever in dairy cows, and with bad cuts, which were healed instantly by our prayerful metaphysical work.

One Sunday we had gone to church. On returning home we found ants had taken possession of our kitchen. Neither of us said a word. We just went into the bedroom, changed our clothing, went back to the kitchen, and there was not an ant to be seen. This was because, while on our way through the kitchen, we had prayed to see God's universe, in which one idea does not prey upon another. Also there were cutter bees, a small bee that cuts the leaves of fruit trees. A daughter-in-law and I had gone out into the orchard. There we saw these little bees at work. She, not being a Christian Scientist, said, "You had better get these trees sprayed, or you are not going to have any leaves left on the trees." I said not a word, but was declaring the truth of a friendly universe of Mind, in which the trees and bees are God's ideas, and one does not destroy the other. I never saw any more bees as pests. The ninety-first Psalm is a great help in any situation that may need immediate attention.

In 1966, I awoke one morning with much pain and pressure in my back. I did not feel that I could stay alone, as I could hardly get up whenever I sat down. So we did prayerful metaphysical work all day and had the help of a practitioner. Relief did not come until about eight o'clock in the evening, when there was an opening at the base of the spinal column. There was some kind of discharge. I never knew what it was. I did not feel it when it opened, but I knew, "Now you can get up and it won't hurt." I got up immediately, and was free from all pain and pressure.

When my husband passed on suddenly, I was healed of grief and a belief of loss.

I had never had any responsibilities before in the business world, but now I had to take up this new responsibility. I sold our house within six weeks, moved to another state, and bought and moved into a new one which has become a happy and pleasant home.

Two years ago I was visiting with my older son and his family, and while holding a year-old grandson, I sat down on a bench in the yard. When I tried to rise from the bench, it collapsed. I received a cut on the back of my head. I declared my heritage as a child of God, got up, and went to telephone a practitioner, telling him what seemed to have happened. He said to me, "It never happened in God's good kingdom." So I said, "All right. I see that. Thank you." This was another quick healing. The daughter-in-law, who was frightened at seeing blood on the block my head had struck, could not be convinced there had been no harm done. So she looked and said she could not see any cut.

For God's wisdom in creating everything to reflect and express Him at all times, for Christ Jesus, who has shown us the true way of Life, and for Mrs. Eddy, who has given us an ever clearer concept of what life is all about, I am most grateful.
